because is it against the law to use children, and he was 12 when they began using him, they continued. Crippled him, and used him for all sorts of awful experiments, His life has been reduced by many decades-- he was a lovely lively lad and genius violinist. This lab despises those of us who are poor but talented.Thank you

Seem to be getting a lot of art to review today. Recognized the pen and ink even without reading it. Unusual kind of portrait and unless I am mistaken is a rather unhappy man in a wheel chair. Very nice work! Details excellent. Love the clock!

telling of his shortened life span-- yes, a great deal of symbolism, to express my agony of what has been done to this son, a violin genius, used for nasty, dirty experiments by an evil group since childhood. Thank you
